Imad Wasim has been advised rest and will sit out of the fourth T20I against England
Pakistan's all-rounder Imad Wasim faced a setback during practice ahead of the T20 World Cup, as he felt discomfort in his right rib cage while batting in the nets.
As a precautionary measure, he has been advised rest and will sit out of the fourth T20I against England. The Pakistan Cricket Board's medical team recommended a scan to assess the extent of the injury.
With the T20 World Cup on the horizon, Imad is expected to take sufficient rest and recover in time for Pakistan's campaign. The PCB medical panel is closely monitoring his progress and will provide updates as necessary.
England has opted to bowl first after winning the toss in the ongoing final T20I match against Pakistan. The Men in Green has made two changes to their lineup, while England welcomes Jos Buttler back into their squad.
